Indiana Jones was having a very strange dream.
He was walking through the desert, and an old man appeared in front of him. Indy wasn't all that alarmed by the startling realness of his appearance. On the contrary, he felt peaceful and quiet when he looked at him. They walked together in companionable silence until they reached a strange spur of rock, sticking out like a sore thumb in the blank, shifting sands. Here, the man turned and spoke to him. He said,
"Go to the place you call Egypt and find this rock. Stay here and wait."
"Hold on. What's going to happen to me after I wait?" Indiana asked. The old man just smiled, pointed to the rock, and disappeared. Indy glanced again at the rock and noticed a small engraving in the side. He leaned closer and saw a saucer-like space ship with two small prongs at one end and the cockpit at the side. He abruptly woke up, the echo of the old man's voice still in his head. He thought about the dream, and, with a decisive nod of his head, got up to ask Marcus to get someone to do his teaching duties for him. He had a feeling that he wasn't going to be back for a while.
"What have you been drinking, kid?" Luke sighed for the fifth time. Ben was right; Han was definitely not willing to take his ship on another "crackpot mission for the old man".
"Look, Han, just trust me on this one!" he pleaded. "I know it sounds crazy-"
"Hell yes! I'm supposed to believe that Kenobi appeared to you in the middle of the night and told you to trash all of our troops in exchange for some idiot on a planet with no known methods of space travel besides some clumsy shuttles that blow up at takeoff!"
"Han, I promise, it'll all turn out fine! There's nothing to worry about. The Falcon can't get hurt- sure, Earth's a long way out, but she should get there in good time, and when we reach Volitia we'll be able to crush the enemy there. They don't have a fleet yet, you know."
"Well, couldn't we do that without whatever-his-name-is?"
"Han, if Ben wants us to take him with us, he's obviously very important to the mission!" Han sighed in resignation.
"Alright, kid, I'll do it. But just to have the last word, this is the WORST decision I will ever make!"
"Okay, Han. As long as you agree to come, I'm fine," Luke laughed.
